Partnership Between Renault, Geely And Aramco Proposes Solution That Adapts EVs For Hybrid Technology With Reduced Cost

As the electric vehicle market continues to expand, Renault aims to transform electric vehicles into hybrids to reduce costs and increase manufacturing flexibility. The proposal comes from Horse Powertrain, a joint venture between Renault Group, Geely, and Aramco.

Renault Wants To Transform Electric Vehicles Into Hybrids Starting In 2028

The new modular hybrid system from Horse Powertrain will be officially unveiled at Auto Shanghai. The system combines an internal combustion engine, an electric motor, and transmission into a single unit, designed to replace the front drivetrain of an electric vehicle.

According to the company, the system can be installed with minimal modifications, using the existing electrical structure. This allows the same car model to be manufactured as either electric or hybrid on the same production line.

Hybrid System Promises To Be Compatible With Gasoline, Ethanol And Even Methanol

Renault wants to transform electric vehicles into hybrids with new solution from Horse Powertrain. Modular system combines internal combustion and electric engine into a single unit with debut planned for 2028.

Renault’s technology aims to transform electric vehicles into hybrids with a low-cost approach and wide compatibility. The internal combustion engine of the system can run on gasoline, ethanol, methanol, or modern synthetic fuels.

The system also acts as a range extender, maintaining the high-voltage battery and directly powering the front wheels. The unit also enables all-wheel drive when combined with an electric rear axle.

Modular Hybrid Could Accelerate Energy Transition In Markets With Limited Infrastructure

Renault’s solution seeks to transform electric vehicles into hybrids primarily for manufacturers with fewer resources. This allows the adaptation of affordable electric models for markets where charging infrastructure is still limited.

With an integrated controller, inverter, DC-DC converter, and onboard charger, the system offers full technical support. The promise is to deliver diverse motorization without radically altering current industrial processes.

Renault Plans To Start Mass Production In 2028

Horse Powertrain estimates that the first vehicles with this technology will be on the streets by 2028. Smaller brands are expected to be the first to adopt the system, although it is also compatible with platforms of larger manufacturers.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

Chinese scientists have identified 122 viable asteroids for large-scale asteroid mining and outlined the Tiangong Kaiwu plan to explore space water ice and metals throughout the Solar System by 2100.

With a 1.3 engine, nearly 700 km of range, and Turbo 200, the Fiat model surpasses Polo, Tera HB20, and Onix, becoming the best-selling car in March; see the numbers for the Fiat Strada and others.

Does compulsive lying exist? What does science know about mythomania and why does it go beyond ‘lying too much’?

This farm in the United States does not use sunlight, does not use soil, and produces 500 times more food per square meter than traditional agriculture: the secret lies in 42,000 LEDs, hydroponics, and a system that recycles even the heat from the lamps.
